ORDER
GRIEVANCE NO. ACI 1214-06

This appeal is before this Court pursuant to Al-Shabazz v. State, 338 S.C. 354, 527 S.E.2d 742 (2000), Sullivan v. S.C. Dep’t of Corrections, 355 S.C. 437, 586 S.E.2d 124 (2003), Slezak v. S.C. Dep’t of Corrections, 361 S.C. 327, 605 S.E.2d 506 (2004), and Furtick v. S.C. Dep’t of Corrections, Op. No. 26270 (S.C. Sup. Ct. filed July 30, 2007). Appellant Frank Ladson (Appellant) seeks review of a decision of the S.C. Department of Corrections (Department) dated July 20, 2007. Having reviewed the record, applicable law, and the briefs filed by the parties in this matter, I find no indication of arbitrariness or capriciousness in the Department’s decision. Further, I conclude that there are no issues of colorable merit that warrant discussion. The Department’s decision to deny Appellant’s grievance was the result of a routine and good-faith exercise of the Department’s administrative responsibilities that is supported by sufficient evidence in the record. Accordingly, the Department’s decision in this matter should be affirmed.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Department’s decision in the above-captioned appeal is AFFIRMED.

AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
